Amazingly beautiful place!! Lots of love & thought went into the property-from the access to the room, details in the room and the landscaping on the property!! First time to the area & so glad we picked this place! It’s a perfect landing spot to spent a day in Nelson and area OR head the other direction to the hot springs & quaint town of Kalso! And the ferry to experience the other side of the lake is right there in Balfour! Couldn’t have been better!

waking up to the mountains and lake each morning

We had an amazing stay in Nelson! The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The view was absolutely incredible — waking up to the mountains and lake each morning was unreal. It was peaceful, private, and just a short drive to town. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot — highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Let me start with the negatives: . . . Yep, there actually were none. This place is second to none. You will never get tired of the view out your front window. The owners are beyond friendly yet know how to give you space. The room could not be cleaner, is incredibly spacious, and outfitted beautifully. If you ever find yourself looking to spend the night in this area, count yourself blessed if you can get into this accommodation.

This was a very lovely place - spacious, clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the outside sports area where one could either play pickleball, badminton or throw a basketball!

This property boasts breathtaking views of Kootenai Lake. The host was thoughtful and helpful giving us much needed information to make our stay perfect. The property is within 15 minutes to Ainsworth Hot Springs. Great amenities such as real cream for the coffee and quality assortments of shower products. We will definitely be back.

This property was clean, the staff (owner) was super friendly, and there was stuff to do for little kids. The room we stayed in was immaculately clean and we were also welcomed with little chocolates. We had everything we needed and it was very quiet.

The home is beautiful with each suet having a view of Kootenai Lake. We enjoyed sitting on the little patio overlooking the mountains and the lake and breathing the fresh air. The suet was very well appointed with gorgeous floors, lighting, fireplace, luxurious bedding.

Very comfortable and roomy. Lovely view. Only downside is about half an hour from Nelson and no restaurants closer than that. But thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Visited earlier in the year. Went to nearby hikes at the lake but during the time we stayed, and visited the hot springs. The hosts were great and attended our needs. Hosts recommended sites and nearby eateries, including showing us the up and coming services to be provided in the future. Had a very nice and pleasant quiet stay, as the suite was nice and large. When we get more time, would love to come back.
